Norman,
a quiet, middle-aged college teacher from Montreal played by Noel
Burton (Denys Arcand’s Stardom, The Art of War), embarks on
the adventure of his life when he goes to Mexico to propose to Gladys,
a young woman he met through an Internet agency. Gladys, played by
Vanessa Bauche (Amorres Perros, El Patrullero) accepts Norman, but
impulsively requires him to bring her widowed mother, Fernanda (Susana
Salazar - Al Norte del Corazón), with them to Canada. In the
emotional showdowns that follow, Norman, Gladys and Fernanda must
find the courage to overcome great distance, foolish desire, and the
obstinate fear of solitude. An official Selection for the 2004 Sundance
Film Festival!
